Commentary

Few things hit me as hard as "I want to go home". It's such a simple, innocent, and relatable desire. It's one of the reasons The Lord of The Rings and the first Hobbit movie had as much emotional impact on me as they did.

That's also why I wound up super annoyed with the other two Hobbit movies in that trilogy, because the first one made me really care, and then the other two slowly chipped away at that, and by the third movie I was all like--*Erhem* But I digress.
